Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

It's snowing outside again. It's been a few months since Rong Zixuan left, and I've gradually gotten used to it. Looking at the snow outside, I can't help but feel sentimental again. It's hard to feel the pain of a six-year relationship being torn apart so suddenly.

"Surprise!" Zheng Lan, Liu Xiu and Hu Ning showed up at my house unexpectedly. I was very surprised to see them.

"Why are you here?" I stood up in disbelief and hugged them one by one.

"We made an appointment to come and see you!" Zheng Lan said with a smile.

"Why do you look so haggard?" Hu Ning asked puzzledly.

"Uh, maybe I didn't sleep well!" I touched my face.

The two children heard the noise and ran out of the room.

"Ah! Little darlings! Come here and let your aunt hug you!" Zheng Lan saw that the two brothers were so happy that the three of them took turns hugging the brothers and couldn't let go.

"Why can't I see Rong Zixuan?" Liu Xiu asked while hugging Jiache.

"He's not here," I replied lightly.

"My dad went to Germany!" Jia Che shouted happily.

"What is your father doing in Germany?" Liu Xiu asked in a child's tone.

"I don't know," Jia Che answered shyly.

"This is the gift we brought for the children," Hu Ning handed me the gift box in his hand.

"Thank you! Thank the aunts quickly!" I said to the child.

When the two children saw the gifts, they couldn't wait to run over and open them. Inside were electric cars and toy guns, toys that boys like. The two children were very happy.

"What is Rong Zixuan doing in Germany?" Zheng Lan asked the question again.

"Babies! Can you go into the room and play? Mommy wants to chat with the aunties." I said to the two children with a smile. The children readily agreed with their new toys, and got up and ran into the room quickly.

"What happened?" Zheng Lan keenly sensed that something was wrong.

I lowered my head and said calmly, "We are divorced."

"What!" they all three shouted in unison.

"Keep your voice down!" I looked back to see if the two children had come out. "I haven't explained it to them yet."

"Rong Zixuan has a woman outside?" Zheng Lan was very angry.

"No! It's just our business, there's no third party involved!"

"What is that? If you don't have a woman, why are you getting a divorce?"

"Different concepts!" I smiled helplessly.

"What do you mean by different ideologies? Even after all this, you're still defending him!"

"He said that he was suppressed by me in every way and he was very depressed. As a man, he couldn't accept being inferior to a woman in every way. He asked me to return to the family and be a housewife, but I didn't agree, and then our talks broke down," I said calmly.

"What are you talking about! He has no ability himself, but he blames you for it?" Hu Ning said indignantly.

"That's right! A man who is both arrogant and self-deprecating! It's better not to have such a man!" Liu Xiu also comforted me.

"Yes! Xiu'er is right! It's better not to have a man like this!" Zheng Lan sat next to me and hugged me.

"How did you divide the property? You can't let a man like this take advantage!" Liu Xiu asked a new question.

"He knew he was in the wrong and only took what he earned. I also returned the house in Gyeongju to him."

"He has a conscience!" Hu Ning was still indignant.

"But it seems that I am a little envious of you! You have a child, a career, and you are not bound by marriage!" Zheng Lan tried to comfort me.

"Yes, yes, yes! Qing'er, you are only in your twenties now, which is the best time of your youth! You can talk about anyone you want!" Hu Ning also echoed Zheng Lan.

"Thank you for your concern, but I still need a little time to sort out the six-year relationship."

"Don't bother sorting them out, just throw them away! Look, everyone's got a new love!" Liu Xiu pushed his phone towards me. On his Moments page, Rong Zixuan had posted a message: "When it snows, of course I have to have a snowball fight with my love!" It also included a nine-square grid of photos of him and a girl. They looked so happy and content in the photos. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I fought back, trying to smile and show them I didn't care.

Liu Xiu handed me the tissue and asked nervously, "Are you really okay?"

I don't know why, but my emotions suddenly reached an extreme, and I collapsed into Zheng Lan's arms and burst into tears. My two children heard the noise and rushed out. Seeing me crying, they hugged me and cried with me. In the end, the three of them comforted us, and my emotions gradually stabilized. The two children were also coaxed to sleep. The three of them felt very uncomfortable watching me sobbing, but they didn't know what to say, so they could only feel sad with me.

"You all saw how we were in love for four years in college. We had a good relationship in the past two years since we came to the United States. After what happened with the Xiao family some time ago, he was even afraid that Xiao Du would murder me. After he went bankrupt, it was me who comforted him and brought him out of the haze. We also made an appointment to go out for fun as a family of four, but that will never happen again!" After saying that, I started crying again.

"You're just a man, just throw your youth away!" Zheng Lan comforted me while wiping my tears.

"I got pregnant during my junior year of college, and he begged me to give birth to the child, which I did. He promised to be good to me for the rest of his life, but a few months after our divorce, he started dating another woman! I never doubted true love, but I never thought it could change so quickly!"

"Rong Zixuan is a piece of stinky shit! It's his great luck to meet you, but he doesn't know how to cherish you!" Zheng Lan still wiped her tears and comforted me.

"When I was a senior in college, he couldn't wait to marry me on his birthday. He was very happy on the day we got the marriage certificate and proudly announced our relationship to the world. But when it came to divorce, I discussed with him whether we could celebrate our child's birthday together before getting divorced, but he firmly refused and was very, very eager to return home to get a divorce. He didn't let us rest along the way and rushed to the Civil Affairs Bureau without stopping, fearing that I would regret it. The moment I finished the divorce procedures and came out, I saw his long-lost smile. He didn't even look at the child when he left. This is our child! How could he be so heartless!" I said, tears streaming down my face.

"Men are all heartless and cold-blooded! If he doesn't cherish you, you have to cherish and protect yourself too!" Zheng Lan said distressedly, "Even if you feel sad for him like this, he won't be moved and turn back! You have to cheer up! You still have children! They need you! You also have a career, so let's not worry about love anymore and focus on your career! Holding your own money is the best way!"

"Yes, yes, our Qing'er is also a rich woman! Let that bastard regret it!" Liu Xiu said viciously.

"The year we graduated, I asked him when we would have the wedding. He said we would have it when we returned from studying abroad. But I didn't get to see his wedding, but instead he asked for a divorce. Now it seems that we entered into marriage hastily and ended it hastily. Our marriage is a joke! He never proposed to me, nor did he give me a formal wedding, but he still owes me a wedding! He will always owe me a wedding!" I was so excited that I couldn't breathe, and it took Zheng Lan to give me some time to breathe.

"Qing'er! You are so outstanding, there is no need to torture yourself like this for a bad man! He feels very depressed when he is with you and is inferior to you in every way. This is a sign that he doesn't love you! Why do you want to hurt yourself for a man who doesn't love you?" Zheng Lan persuaded earnestly.

"He did love me! His love was so strong that I could feel it!" I cried and excitedly retorted to Zheng Lan.

"You're talking about the past! People's hearts can change!" Zheng Lan wiped my tears distressedly, "Let's stop here, okay? I'm done crying today, let's start over tomorrow, okay?"

"But why did he change? Do men really not like women who are better than themselves? Isn't it said that men admire strong women?" I cried unwillingly.

"Don't degrade yourself anymore. He's brainwashing you, making you think that your divorce is your problem! In fact, he is the one with the problem. He is trying to divert the conflict! He has fallen in love with someone else! You have to cheer up! Think about it, is it easy for you to come here from a small village? Is it worth it to cry and scream here, lose your will, and waste yourself for a man? Are you worthy of your efforts over the years?" Zheng Lan's tone gradually became harsh, but she was right. I was just feeling sad and moved by myself. Rong Zixuan will not look back! I worked so hard to get here, and I shouldn't stop because of emotional problems.

I stopped crying and began to think. Zheng Lan saw that her words were effective and pressed on, "You are the top scorer in the college entrance examination! You are also an outstanding graduate of Jinghua University, a master's degree holder from MIT, and now a doctorate holder from Harvard! You have to cheer up. You are so outstanding, your future will definitely be bright and glorious! Many people envy you so much, why are you still degrading yourself!"

"Yes, yes! You are now the founder of one of the world's top 100 companies. We are thinking that if you are unhappy with your work in the future, we will arrange a job for you to retire on!" Hu Ning said happily.

"If you want to cry, cry now. After you finish crying, we will go shopping together tomorrow! We sisters have gotten rid of that rotten man Rong Zixuan, so we should go out to celebrate! Rong Zixuan just has a better figure and his looks are average! With your current status, you can find anyone you want! Shen Junhui and Li Zhanwen are much more handsome than them, and they have money too!" Liu Xiu was talking to herself happily, and was warned by Zheng Lan's eyes.

"Oh, by the way, Shen Junhui and Li Zhanwen don't know about my divorce yet, so don't tell them! Otherwise, they'll be stuck like a dog-skin plaster and can't get rid of me!"

"Rong Zixuan has made it public. He must have more than just us in his circle of friends, so the news will definitely get out. I guess the news of your divorce will be on the news tomorrow. Even if we don't say anything, they will definitely know it!" Liu Xiu complained.

"It's difficult! It's okay that Li Zhanwen has returned to Hong Kong, but Shen Junhui is still here!"

"Wow! Now is the perfect time! The seat next to you is empty. Shen Junhui is a straightforward person! The love he expresses to you is very strong! Why do you want to be a widow for Rong Zixuan after your divorce? It would be good to start a new relationship! How about dating a tall, rich and handsome guy and try something new?" Zheng Lan was trying to comfort me to get out of the pain of this relationship.

"Goodbye! Men will only affect the speed of my success! Now I just want to finish my doctoral program, and then go back to expand the territory with Xiao Yuan and reach the pinnacle of life!" I said passionately.

"Isn't that right? Men! There are plenty of them! The old ones don't go away, the new ones don't come! If you want one, take it. If you don't want one, let's go and start a business!" Zheng Lan said with relief, hooking her arm around my shoulder.

"Since you're here, I'll do my best to be your host. Let's plan our itinerary! We sisters haven't played together in ages! I'll cover all the expenses!"

"Long live Qing'er!"

With the care of my friends, I gradually came out of the shadow of divorce and regained my confidence in life.
